A World in Crisis

In this alternate 2024, the world is a much different place than the one we know. A cataclysmic event has left society in ruins, and the traditional heroes of the Marvel Universe have vanished.

In the absence of their former protectors, humanity turns to the Dark Avengers for salvation. Despite their villainous past, these outcasts and misfits prove to be surprisingly effective in their new roles.

Osborn's leadership, honed by years of manipulating and deceiving, guides the team with an iron fist. Bullseye's deadly aim and Moonstone's psychic abilities make them formidable opponents. Venom's symbiote provides Spider-Man-like agility and strength, while Daken's claws and healing factor mimic Wolverine's.

Blurred Lines

As the Dark Avengers rise to prominence, the lines between good and evil become blurred. Their methods may be questionable, but their results are undeniable.

Osborn's ruthless pragmatism leads to swift and decisive victories, but at what cost? Bullseye's bloodlust threatens to consume him, while Moonstone's powers tempt her towards corruption.

Venom struggles to control his symbiote's violent urges, and Daken's loyalty to Osborn is constantly tested by his own dark impulses.

The Price of Redemption

Despite their questionable origins, the Dark Avengers find themselves yearning for redemption. They desire acceptance and recognition, but the world remains skeptical of their true intentions.

As they continue to operate in the shadows, the Dark Avengers must confront their own demons and the legacy of their past actions. Can they truly become the heroes they claim to be, or are they destined to repeat the mistakes that defined them?
